Incredible flavours, food, service and atmosphere. The restaurant has an authentic Spanish feel, Jamon hanging from the ceiling, exposed brickwork, and one of the best playlists I've heard in a restaurant for a while (familiar songs with a Spanish/Flamenco twist).
Service was fast, attentive and friendly, one small error with the drinks order but that was rectified immediately without hesitation.
The staff were very knowledgeable about the menu and came across as incredibly passionate, which is refreshing and encouraging.
We started with a selection of pintxos, which can certainly be shared between 2, making it very easy to try several dishes... We ordered the Prawn and Anchovy, Jamon and Manchego, pork belly and ox cheek Empanadilla to start.
All were perfectly prepared, providing big, bold flavours that quite literally took me back to my time in Spain! (Like the Ratatouille bloke!)
After a bit of a rest we decided to try the patatas bravas, chorizo croqueta and some more pintxos... We actually ordered the Prawn and Anchovy, Empanadillas and the Pork Belly again, they were that exceptional!!
We also decided to try the octopus, which was mind blowingly good.
We finished with churros AND cheesecake (with sherry) both of which were just exquisite and finished the meal perfectly.
We finished our drinks whilst talking with the Head Chef/Owner who made us feel incredibly welcomed and like we had been a hundred times before.
Pintxos is easily the best Spanish food I've eaten outside of Spain. We will definitely be back, the sooner the better.
Would taken more photos but we were a bit distracted by the incredible food!
